Katherine Hyatt | LMHC , RYT 200
Katherine started practicing yoga in 2012 after relocating to the Finger Lakes, not realizing how it would impact and shape her future. She began practicing as a way to aid her in building strength, stability and self-regulation for running. The practice quickly evolved after a series of traumatic losses leaving her to crave the safety of the practice.
Katherine completed her 200hr teacher training through Grounded By Yoga in Bloomfield, NY in June 2016 and from there developed what we now know as Branches of Growth Mental Health Counseling and Yoga Studio.
Katherine's mission has been to create a small, safe space for people to practice grounding, mindfulness, meditation and connecting with their bodies in a judgement free zone. Her favorite part of teaching is when students stop listening to her and listen to what their body needs. Katherine specializes in yoga classes specific to mental health (ie. yoga for mental wellness and yoga for anxiety), as both a yoga teacher and Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
She has attended many trainings on Trauma- Sensitive Yoga, Trauma Conscious Yoga, Childlight Yoga (teens, as well as baby and toddler), Yin Yoga, Yoga for Depression and Military Sexual Trauma. Katherine taught both chair yoga and in the inpatient psychiatric unit for a few years at the VA- pre-pandemic. She is also a Reiki 2 practitioner.

Sarah Dulany-Gring (SDG)
Sarah Dulany-Gring (SDG) is the owner of FAUVED and the author of Naked. Through writing, events, and workshops, she teaches others to connect authentically, feel fully, and deeply honor their personal narratives in order to show up for themselves in this (messy) life. Instead of being one’s “best self,” she encourages everyone to be their “favorite self.”
Journaling Events began as a passion project within FAUVED and have since grown into a transformative practice for those seeking an accessible, portable, and deeply personal form of self-care. Rooted in intention and reflection, these offerings honor each person’s unique journaling journey—infusing it with depth, purpose, and a sacred sense of connection to self.
She loves coffee, the ocean, and daffodils. She hates mosquitos, humidity, and olives. She lives in Central New York with her two fairly large mini-humans in a tiny house.
